  • 문치가자미 Pleuronectes yokohamae의 RNA/DNA비 일주기 변화를 조사하기 위하여 부화후 89일, 전장 $23.2{\pm}0.2mm$의 치어를 48시간 동안 일정한 시간 간격으로 채집하였다. RNA/DNA비는 주간(0800, 1100, 1400, 1700)에 높았고 야간(2000, 2300, 0200, 0500 hours)에는 낮게 나타났다. 이번 연구결과에서 문치가자미의 생화학적 일주기 변화를 확인하였고, 이와 같은 RNA/DNA비의 일주기적 변화를 고려하여 시료 채집시간 결정을 포함한 시료채집 계획작성과 data분석이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • We investigated the nutritional status of the melania snail (Semisulcospira gottschei) using RNA/DNA ratios to evaluate the effect of feeding conditions (artificial versus natural) on the reaction times of the snails in a time course following starvation. In the short experiments (48 h), the RNA/DNA ratios of the artificial feeding groups were significantly higher than those of the natural groups. While two RNA/DNA ratio peaks were observed in the artificial food group during daytime, the natural food group showed a higher ratio at night. Under starvation conditions, the RNA content decreased whereas the DNA content was constant. The RNA/DNA ratios of the freshwater snail in both groups dramatically decreased after starvation and remained constant until the end of the experiment. We verified that the RNA/DNA ratio serves as an index of nutritional condition with respect to the effect of dietary differences. These results are important for understanding optimized aquaculture rearing conditions for this important commercial freshwater snail.

  • The effects of temperatures, starvation, and kind of foods on growth, RNA/DNA ratio and protein contents during metamorphosis and early juvenile stage of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were examined. During metamorphosis, warm-acclimated fish showed higher RNA and DNA content than those of the cold-acclimated fish, excepting H stage (28 DAH) at which the ratio was higher at cold temperature. RNA/DNA ratio during metamorphosis showed similar values at two temperatures tested. However, after 42 DAH warm-acclimated juveniles had higher DNA content compared with cold-acclimated fish, resulted in marked decreases in RNA/DNA ratios. Higher RNA content at H stage of cold-acclimated fish was consistent with an increase in protein content. Growth of fish rearing at warm temperature was higher than those of fish at cold temperature during all experiments. In starvation experiment, contents of DNA, RNA and protein significantly decreased. Even though there were no significant differences in total length (TL) and body weight between the live mysid-fed and artificial pellet-fed fish at 35 mm TL, both RNA/DNA and protein/DNA ratios of the former group was significantly higher than those of the latter due primarily to lower DNA content of the live mysid-fed group. The results from this study suggest that temperature, starvation and kind of foods should be considered when RNA/DNA ratio applied to assessing the cultured larval and juvenile fish condition.

  • In a 12-week experiment, the rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus, and olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, were investigated to determine the effects of starvation on their physiological parameters. The protein and DNA contents of the starved fish were significantly higher than the initial values and those of the fed fish. The RNA contents and RNA/DNA ratios of the fed fish were significantly higher than those of the other groups (P<0.05). The hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells (RBC), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of the fed rock bream were significantly higher than at baseline (P<0.05), whereas the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of the fed fish was lower than at baseline (P<0.05). The hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC, and MCHC of the starved group were significantly lower than the baseline values, whereas the MCV of the starved group was significantly higher than the baseline value (P<0.05). No significant difference in alanine aminotransferase was observed between the fed fish and baseline, whereas the starved fish value was significantly higher than the baseline value (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in cortisol levels. However, the glucose level in the fed group was significantly higher than the baseline level and that in the starved group was significantly lower than the baseline level (P<0.05).

  • 한국 서해안 해역에서 2011년 9월부터 2012년 1월까지 수평망식으로 양성한 굴의 산란기 이후 생태 생리학적 변화를 조사하였다. 조사 지역은 충남 태안 연안의 의항, 신두리, 이원의 두 곳을 선정하여 생식소지수, 조직학적 분석, 생식소와 폐각근 내의 RNA/DNA의 양과 비, condition index (CI), 연체부지수 등을 분석하여 건강도를 판정하였다. 연구결과 의항에서 수평망식으로 양식한 굴은 다른 지역의 굴과 생리학적 차이를 보였다. 즉, 폐각근 내 RNA/DNA의 양 및 비가 조사기간 동안 지속적으로 감소하였고 가장 낮은 CI와 연체부지수를 보였다. 이원지역의 St. 1과 2에서 양식한 굴은 산란기 이후 빠른 회복력을 보여 RNN/DNA가 증가하였고, 연체부지수와 CI 또한 10월까지 급격히 증가한 이후 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 신두리 지역의 굴은 연체부지수와 CI가 10월까지 급격하게 감소하였다. 그러나 이러한 건강도 판정요소와는 다르게 폐각근 내 RNA/DNA 비는 단백질의 증가 양상처럼 10월까지 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 특이한 점은 신두리와 이원의 St. 1에서는 12월까지도 부분방출기의 개체가 관찰이 되었다. 모든 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 본 연구에서 사용된 RNA/DNA 양과 비의 변화, 연체부지수, CI 등의 간단한 지표만으로도 양식 굴의 건강상태, 산란 후 회복과정에 관한 정보 취득이 가능하였다. 따라서 이와 같은 자료를 통하여 우량종패 생산을 위한 굴 어미관리가 가능하고, 또한 소비자들이 선호할 수 있는 양질의 굴 생산이 가능할 것으로 판단되므로 향후에도 다년간 연구조사가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Nine biochemical characteristics of female Oncorhynchus keta subpopulations that migrate to three streams (Namdaechun, Myeongpachun, Oshipchun) in Gangwon, Korea, were evaluated during November 2006: aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatine kinase, triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose, hemoglobin, and urea in the blood and RNA/DNA in muscle. The three subpopulations were identical morphologically, but differed in their biochemical characteristics. The RNA/DNA ratio could be useful for distinguishing the subpopulations. RNA/DNA ratios of the Namdaechun and the Myeongpachun and Oshipchun subpopulations were $3.52{\pm}0.7$ and $2.9{\pm}0.7$ and $2.4{\pm}0.8$, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). By contrast, the blood parameters were somewhat ambiguous.

  • 분만전후 4주동안 Sqraque Dawley 암컷 쥐에게 양적으로 식이를 제한했다. 임의로 먹인 control group의 1일평균성취량의 1/2의 시중사로를 식이제한 group에게 주었다. Deficient I group에서는 분만후부터 이유시까지 식이제한을 했고, deficient II group에서는 임신 15일부터 이유시까지 계속 식이제한을 했다. 식이제한 group의 체중과 뇌무게는 control group의 새끼쥐보다 유의적으로 낮았지만, 체중에 대한 뇌무게의 비는 control group보다 높았다. 이유시에는 두 식이제한 group사이에서 체중과 뇌무게의 유의적인 차가 나타났다. 뇌의 DNA, RNA 및 단백질함량은 control group보다 식이제한 group에서 유의적으로 낮았지만 RNA/DNA, 뇌무게/DNA 및 단백질/DNA은 control group보다 식이제한 group에서 높았다. 이것은 새끼쥐뇌에서 세포분열이 세포의 크기성장보다 이 기간중의 어미쥐의 식이제한에 의해 더욱 심한 영향을 받았음을 시사해준다. 뇌의 DNA와 RNA는 두식이제한 group간에 유의적인 차를 나타내지만, 단백질의 경우는 유의적인 차를 나타내지 않았다.

  • Barley yellow dwarf virus PAV (BYDV-PAV) has a 5.7-kb positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that contains six open reading frames (ORFs). BYDV-PAV produces three subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs). The largest of which encodes the coat, 17-kDa, and readthrough proteins from two initiation codons. To investigate the role of intergenic and 3'-proximal noncoding regions (NCRs) in coat protein (CP) expression and BYDV-PAV replication, a full-length infectious cDNA of the RNA genome of an Illinois isolate of BYDV-PAV was constructed downstream of the Cauliflower mosaic virus-35S promoter. Linear DNA molecules of these cDNAs were infectious, expressed the 22-kDa CP, and produced both genomic RNA sgRNAs in ratios similar to those observed in protoplasts inoculated with viral RNA. The portion of 5'NCR of sgRNA1 between ORFs 2 and 3 was not required for, but enhanced translation of CP from ORF3. Mutants containing deletions in the NCR downstream of ORF5 failed to replicate in oat protoplasts. These results indicate that an intact 3$^1$NCR is required for BYDV-PAV replication.

  • A more rapid and efficient method to extract RNA from Ecklonia cava Kjellman (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) was introduced in this study. Each step of the procedure was evaluated and the optimal concentration of each chemical in the lysis solution was determined. Tissue pulverization with PVPP and β-mercaptoethanol in the lysis solution were not essential for RNA extraction of this species. The highest yield and purity of E. cava RNA were obtained by the lysis solution containing 1% CTAB, 1 M NaCl, 0.7% PVP, 10mM EDTA and 100mM Tris-Cl (pH 9.0). Approximately 8μg of RNA was obtained from 200 mg of ground tissue. The ratios of the absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm were from 1.6 to 1.8 and those of at 230 nm and 260 nm were from 1.8 to 2.0. The extracted RNAs obtained in this study turned out to have a sufficient quality for cDNA synthesis.
